This document provides an introduction to information and communication technology (ICT). It discusses the evolution of computers from first to fifth generation technologies and how ICT has changed lives and society. The document notes that ICT allows information processing and sharing from anywhere at any time using electronics, computers and communication devices. It also discusses how ICT has impacted the Philippines by highlighting statistics on cellphone and internet usage and employment in ICT sectors. Finally, it includes questions to interview a local business owner about their use of and perspectives on ICT.
4. Definition of ICT
ICT is a technology required for information
processing, in particular, the use electronics
computers, communication devices and
application software to convert, store, protect,
process, transmit and retrieve information
from anywhere, anytime.
6. First Generation
Time Period : 1951 to 1959
Size: Very Large System
Technology : Vacuum Tubes
Processing : Very Slow
7. ENIAC
Electronic Numerical Integrator And
Computer) was the first electronic
general-purpose computer. It was
Turing-complete, digital, and could solve
"a large class of numerical problems"
through reprogramming.
9. Third Generation
Time Period : 1963 to 1975
Technology : ICs (Integrated Circuits)
Incorporated many transistors & electronic
circuits on a single chip
Size : Small as compared to 2nd generation computers
Processing : Faster then 2nd generation computers
26. ICT In the Philippines
“ICT Hub of Asia”
106.8 cellphones per 100 Filipinos in the year
2012
ICT shares19.3% in total employment
population here in the Philippines
“the selfiest cities around the world”
27. ICT, Me, and My Community
To fully understand the Importance of ICT,
let us first look at our community. Look for
a small business around your community.
Conduct a short interview of the business
owner using the following guide
28. Company Name/Establishment Name: _________________________________
Address:_________________________________________
Nature of Business: _____________________________________________
Guide Question:
1.What are the different ways for customers
and/or suppliers to contact you?
2.How often do you use a phone or cellular
phone for business? Estimate only.
29. 3. Does your establishment have internet
connection? If yes, what is its purpose? If no,
would you consider having it in the future? Why
or why not?
4. Does your business have a website? If yes, how
does it help the company? If no, would you
consider having one in the future? Why or why
not?
5. (if applicable) would you consider giving free Wi-
Fi access in the future? If you already have it, does
it help boost sales?

GPS Global Positioning system
ENIAC (/ˈini.æk/ or /ˈɛni.æk/; Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer) was the first electronic general-purpose computer. It was Turing-complete, digital, and could solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming.
The period of fourth generation was 1971-1980. The computers of fourth generation used Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits. VLSI circuits having about 5000 transistors and other circuit elements and their associated circuits on a single chip made it possible to have microcomputers of fourth generation.
Present and Beyond
Sa pagdaan ng panahon paano ba nabago ng technology ang buhay natin at sya mismo paano ba sya nagbago
Waiting? Whats that?
According to 2013 edition of measuring the information society by international telecommunication Union,
How do you see the world in 10 years time?
Yes Technology brought change to our lives but does it affect the way we are then?
